Abstract

Education is in a constant state of evolution, mirroring the changes in our world. Therefore, an adaptable and inventive approach to learning, transcending conventional models, is imperative to nurture individual development, critical reasoning, and societal transformation. Based on the principle that education should not only convey information but also provoke profound shifts in attitudes and behaviors, this research, employing a descriptive mixed-method design, aimed to explore the experiences and perceived effects of transformative education within the College of Teacher Education at the University of Saint Anthony. The study employed surveys and interviews to delve deeply into the subject matter. Data analysis was conducted using Weighted Mean and Wilcoxon Rank-Sum Test as statistical tools. Findings revealed a significant presence of transformative education in the learning process, particularly in terms of social support, self-directed learning, attitude towards uncertainty, and critical thinking, as evidenced by teacher education students’ experiences in classroom discussions/dialogues, internships, and class activities. These experiences contributed to the enhancement of students’ critical thinking, communication, and interpersonal skills, empowering them to realize their potential and seek meaning and clarity in their lives. The support of teachers was identified as crucial in facilitating these endeavors.
